In designating tomorrow as a holi
day and setting it aside as a day of
thanksgiving, Governor Olcott urged
all citizens of Oregon to attend their
respective places of worship or give
thanks and pay homage to God In
their own homes. The executive's
proclamation said:
'The seed time and the harvest Of
another year have passed since we
dedicated and set aside a clay on
which to give thanks for the blessings
of peace which had once more set
tled upon a disordered world. It has
been a year of bounty and plenty.
The heavens have smiled upon our
state and we may look back upon our
accomplishments with a feeling that
they have been good.'.
"While we should be permeated
with a deep feeling of thankfulness
for all those material 'blessings which
' have been showered upon us, I be
lieve that the Creator has never im
planted in the hearts of mankind a
feeling for which we Bhould be so
truly thankful as that deep sense of
service which is supplanting the rap-
J idly passing desires of greed and
Igain, which were based upon the de-
jmands of self alone. For this same
'growing sense of service let our
hearts be thankful that such sense
may grow and fructify as have grown
and fructified the harvests and fruits
with which we have been supplied so
bountifully." '

Washington, Nov. 26. Threat of Ga-l-riele
D'Annunzio, Italian poet soldier
to Invade Dalmatia territory held by
the Jugo-Slavs, today caused serious
.concern to the state department.
Action by D'Annunzio in attempting
invasion from the sea will throw re-1
Bponaibility directly on the United
States, which was assigned by the
I.eace conference to patrol Dalmatian
water below Zebenlco and guard the
coast occupied by the Jugo-Slavs.

San Francisco, Nov. 26. Desire to

the ranks of the shipyard strikers, In
the opinion of men who have already
returned to work on the open shop
basis.
A foreman at the Schaw-Batcher
plant, who said his department had

today men who under normal. circum
stances would have held out, were re
turning because they wanted money to

Griffith, superintendent of the hos
pital, stated this morning that Cheno
weth had displayed no symptoms of
insanity since entering the institution
more than two months ago and was
ready for release now in his opinion.
Protest against the release of Chenr
oweth by hospital authorities on the
part of Collier H. Euffington, district
attorney for Currey county, who con
tended that the discharge could only
be ordered by the circuit judge order
ing the committment has been elimi
nated by an opinon from Attorney
General Brown who holds that this
matter is entirely within the jurlsdic
tion of hospital authorities.
"There is no question under the law
but that an inmate who has recovered
his reason is entitled to be discharg
ed," reads ths attorney general's opin
on. "He is not being held in the state
hospital,, for punishment because he
has been acquitted of the crime
against him."
It is the duty of the
hospital authorities to detain him by
reason of the fact of his insanity if
in fact he Is insane, Brown holds.
When, however, he continues, the pa
tient has recovered his sanity he is
entitled to be discharged.
District Attorney Euffington has .
further protested against the release :
of Chenoweth from the state institu
tion on the ground that his return to '
Currey county at this time might lead
to an attempt on the part of the
friends of the slain man to seek re
venge against Chenoweth.
Final action on Chenoweth's re
lease is held in abeyance pending a
further opinion from the attorney
igeneral as to just what constitutes a
I reasonable time in which hospital au
thorities should detain a patient in
order to determine his sanity.

OF STRIKE NEAR
Washington, Nov. 26. Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield, acting for the gov
eminent will deliver to coal operators
and miners here today a virtual ulti
matum warning both sides in the coal
wage controversy that their differences
must be adjusted wlwiout further de
lay. : '
The government statement, which
officials hope will bring an end to the
coal strike that has kept 400,000 min
ers idle since November 1, was decided
on at a meetlngf the cabinet today.
o It will be a "final" exposition of
the government's attitude in the coal
strike and will be addressed to both
sides. : " i.
Garfield, leaving the cabinet meeting
at 1:30 emphasized the word "final."
Although Garfield and cabinet mem
bers refused to give an indication as to
what the statement would contain, it
was believed Secretary Wilson's pro
posal to grant the miners a 31 per cent
wage Increase was not sustained.
It was regarded as unlikely that the
utement will, contain any recom
mendation astd a specific increase but
will set forth a declaration of broad
principles in Biich a' manner as to inti
mate what the government believes a
fair increase to be.

Refusal Is Forecast

preparing American public sentiment
for refusal of this government's de
mand for surrender of William O.

at Puebla. according tq many indica
tions today '-v -- . ,.., ,
The Mexican embassy1, has issued
newspaper clippings from , Mexican
papers containing the allegation that
Jenkins was an actual-confederate of
the bandits who kidnaped him. Mexi
can officials have asserted that Jen
kins was not entitled to diplomatic
immunity and that his case was In
the hands of the court and they have
denied that there was a crisis, saying
all excitement was due to the "jingo
press."
At the Mexican embassy today there
was on air of calm confidence, at
taches insisting there would be no
trouble between their country and the
United States over Jenkins..
Armed Action Alternative
Meanwhile, the reply to America's
note has not materialized. The situa
tion was discussed by the cabinet yes
terday, but po policy formulated. It
was agreed, it was learned, that the
affair was a concern of the state de
partment and that it had not yet as
sumed the dimenslions of an interna
tional complication in which the cab
inet should take a hand.
The department's program is In
event Carranza refuses to give up
Jenkins first, to demand why, asking
full explanation and if this is unsat
isfactory, to send an ultimatum order
ing his release by a certain hour. Tho
alternative of this ultimatum would
not be armed action on land,

- Mexico City, Nov. 26. The attitude
of the American government In the
Jenkins case is "inexplicable" Luis Ca

the United Press.
"The American government assumes
that Jenkins Is Innocent, demanding

"By threat the United States Is en

"It is overbearing for the United
States, 'a powerful nation, to meddle

L
OF SALEM TEACHERS
IH HIGHER PAY PLAN
The school board, at its meeting in
the high school last night, endorsed
the proposed 1150 raise for teachers.
Inability of the teachers to cope with
the high cost of living prompted the i
board to back the increase; and an
other factor considered is the fact
that rates here are now lower than
in any other state.
Several civic and private organiza
tions have already approved the In
crease, and pledged support to the
cause at the polls December 8, when
the people of Salem will be called up
on to vote the measure.
The new teachers, Mrs. F. A. Eng
lish, Esther Wheeler and Luelle Hug
gins, were named for posts last rilght.
Advance of state aid for soldiers'
educations was the objective of reso
lutions passed by the board. Further
state funds for this purpose will not
be available until February 1, 1920;
and the board .decided some acUon
must be taken to continue the work
until that time.
